(Why does everybody write 'Internet' with a capital 'I'?)
Anyway, why not 'invent' your own internet?
You could start with a bulletin box connected to a telephone modem...
Then establish an organisation with members that are allowed to access that box, etc. etc. and before you know it, you have your own internet.
Just wondering whether you'd start tracking your clients or not.
I've got news for you:
There's no 'state of sin',
there's no hell,
and there ain't no jesus.
There are however idiots who think they are the only flukes in evolution that have 'a purpose'.
And there are priests, pastors, elites that profit off them...
will only drive out the 'good citizens' while the real criminals keep paying whatever price will be asked.
So, if you use a VPN you must be a criminal.
It will probably take a few centuries more for those armies to reach earth, and by that time everybody has already died due to climate change or thermonuclear warfare (you choose), so who cares?
That's not true. As a private person, since the Greece banking problems, the EU has adopted a new 'blue print' in which the customers will have to 'bail-in' the banks.
In other words, they lose (part of) their money to the creditors of the bank.
And you know what some prime minister once said about 'guarantees'? "Guarantees are for vacuum cleaners."
Try for instance to imagine who is going to pay every 'customer' (=idiot who gave his money away) his 100.000 Euros when all banks have gone belly up... There is no insurance that will be able to pay those amounts.
There is a severe misconceptions showing in your post.
As soon as the customer gives his money to the bank, it's not his money anymore.
When the bank goes bankrupt the customer will be the last in line to receive 'his' money back.
It's a loan you extend to the bank, you're not putting it there 'in storage'.
I'm beginning to wonder whether the US government's long term plan is to make travelling to the US such a horrible experience for us foreigners that identifying the terrorists will be easy because they will be the only ones insane enough to try.
There barely are any real terrorists except for that bunch of false flag government paid fake terrorists but I digress.
I guess American airlines would go bankrupt by the hundreds...
And I am still at a loss why so many people are still willing to visit this lawless country where almost every day an innocent unarmed civilian is shot by the police, government theft through civil forfeiture by far exceeds the stealing by all (other) criminals together, French banks can be slapped with a multi-billion dollar fine for not violating any French law or else be kicked out of the international financial settlement system, the president establishes every week a list of 'terrorists' that he will order to be extra-judicially killed (and the collateral damage?) and what else did I forget--except for the standard behaviour of toppling governments that don't want to do what the American government asks them to do.
I for sure would avoid that country like the plague...
...we consistently outscore European health care in survival outcomes for just about every major life-threatening disease...
Got any link to back this up?
With regard to the lifestyle you're absolutely right.
Well, it was about 'abstract people'.
Me too, when told about some suffering somewhere on the other side of the world of people who are portrayed by the news as 'adversaries of peace and democracy', tend to not care too much about it. But when I see someone I don't know in my street being on fire, I feel a lot of empathy.
So it's not as linear (and despicable) as you seem to see it.
As a first impression to this story I would say that this is quite unbelievable.
What in fact they are saying is that the supposed result of CO2 accumulation already appeared when we just started to accumulate?
No offense to the 'climate-believers' (and I think this is going to cause me to get flaimed a bit), but to me this is more an indication that the correlation between industrialization and climate warming tends to be more coincidental than causal.
As an example, how do you feel about the divine right of kings? A few centuries ago you'd probably be not only accepting, but passively in favor of it.
Not only would I, 'a few centuries ago', have been in favor of it, a mere few decades ago I actually was.
Not any more though...
Good that you leave Mao aside, because he isn't there anymore, nor his regime.
For the remaining points you mention I still don't see the USA targeted in any of them.
So why again is China considered an adversary to the US?
At the time the A-bombs were dropped, Japan had already offered to surrender, with only one condition: the emperor would not be touched.
That was refused by the US until the Russians were approaching, threatening to finish Japan off, and that's the only reason the A-bombs were dropped, aside from being a demo show for Stalin. The result was that the Japanese surrendered unconditionally and the emperor still hasn't been touched. Now how 'fucked up' is that?
And why is that a business for the USA, with already more than 800 military bases in more than 100 countries the world over?
At least the Chinese haven't killed anybody yet, unlike the USA did with millions (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Irak, Lybia, to name a few countries), and by the way was the first country to deploy, totally unnecessary if you ask me as the Japanese were already surrendering, 2 A-bombs with devastating results for the civilian populations involved.
Come on now.
Yes, that would be nice. That was lacking: another war in an area of the world where we have no business being. Just to satisfy our military-political-industrial-financial complex in their hunger for more expenses, money gained, and destruction.
Way to go, bro...

My guess is that he put the necessary CR/LFs in his text, but that this giiky Slashdot didn't show them.

The question is not so much whether the new processors 'support' Linux, rather than whether Linux will support the new processors.

Europe is full of some really fucking stupid people, with some really fucking stupid ideas- without intended offense to the not stupid individuals.
Hahaha, that's funny. If Europe is full of stupid people, you surely don't leave much room for the not stupid individuals. :)
What went wrong with that link? :)
Ah, that's better.
Last time I checked, the amount of land that is under water is less than 30 years ago (at time of writing down for maintenance).

Someone mod this up please! :)
I think you just proved his point: You shouldn't expect everybody to care.
If I hadn't taken part in the discussion already, I would have modded this up as 'Insightful'. Spot on.

Then don't provoke.
